The buck stops with you

In business as in life, the buck always stops with you. You are responsible for your outcomes. It's a hard fact to face for many. If you just looked at every situation in your life or business and operated on the basis that - it's your responsibility and you will be the master of your outcomes, it would be smooth sailing from there on out.
People fall on their face and deal with hardship or turmoil to the degree that they look for external causes. Looking to blame some outside influence is counter-productive. It's you. Always has been. Always will be. Your efforts, your actions and your decisions are the only thing you should be concerned with. Don't seek other reasons, they don't exist.
Take full responsibility. Full accountability for the outcome of your actions and know that the buck stops with you. Once you know this and operate with it, things get better. You can control the game. You can set your strategy plan and you can work causatively toward your goals. Knowing that it's you is empowering.
Decide to take full accountability and responsibility for all outcomes from here on out and don't look for anything to blame for less than desirable outcomes, ever. With that, you can truly take charge and control the game and your goals.
